World Cares Center (WCC) has received over 400 referrals from NJ's most needy flood victims through NJ 211. From our call center operating seven days a week, WCC is sorting their needs to best match those residents with the voluntary orgs on the ground providing free services. In addition to coordinating with these groups, WCC is supporting the NJ Governor's Office of Volunteerism by matching spontaneous volunteers to the orgs helping and providing WCC's disaster volunteer briefing online to prepare them for their roles in the relief effort.

We hope that you and your family are safe and that your homes have weathered the storm. Over the past few days, Hurricane/Tropical Storm Irene ripped across the eastern United States from North Carolina to Vermont, including New York City and the Tri-State Area. As these events unfolded, we at World Cares Center witnessed the tremendous human spirit and resilience displayed by residents in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.

As Hurricane Irene continues its path up the eastern coast, World Cares Center will keep you informed about the storm and what measures everyone should be taking to be safe during before, during, and after the hurricane. Emails will be distributed when warranted and as often as possible.
